Don't Try So Hard - Amy Grant, James Taylor

Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe

'Cause it’s a long, long week for someone wired to please

I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher

Wanna shine bright, even brighter now

Wish I would tell myself

Don’t try so hard

God gives you grace and you can’t earn it

Don’t think that you’re not worth it

Because you are

He gave you His love and He’s not leaving

Gave you His Son so you’d believe it

You’re lovely even with your scars

Don’t try so hard

Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids?

Oh, we didn’t think much about it, we just lived

Taking our time, beautiful leisure

When did we start, trying to measure up

And all this time, love has been trying to tell us

Don’t try so hard

God gives you grace and you can’t earn it

Don’t think that you’re not worth it

Because you are

He gave you His love and He’s not leaving

Gave you His Son so you’d believe it

You’re lovely even with your scars

Don’t try so hard

Don’t try so hard

Don’t try so hard

God gives you grace

You can’t earn it

Stop thinking you’re not worth it

Because you are

He gave you His love and He’s not leaving

Gave you His Son so you’d believe it

You’re lovely even with your scars

Lovely the way you are

So open up your lovely heart

Don’t try so hard
